Mobility Radeon X700: The Graphics of the Travelmate 8100

Doom 3 Performance
At just under 30fps, Doom 3 is just to the wrong side of playable for most gamers. Of course, a platform like this will likely be used for gaming as a secondary function. It may be that the very casual gamer just wants to see the latest and greatest eye candy at a merely passable frame rate. Dropping from our High Quality setting down to Medium will improve performance to a comfortable level while only mildly decreasing the image quality.

This is something like 2x as fast as the 9700 mobility, get real. It is pretty much the equivalent of a 9700 pro desktop part, however.randomman - Tuesday, March 1, 2005 - link
I realize that it would not be an exact comparison, but could you add some old benchies from the 9700 Mobility and 9800 M. This would give a better point of comparison than just against a desktop sys.Also are there any things available talking about the differences in power optimizations between the old 9700 and the X700?

Is there much point to the review of of a notebook graphics chip that has NO comparison to any other mobile graphics chips?Personally I find the benchmarks in this review totally useless.

the big selling feature of this over the mobile 9700 is that it provides better battery life, it is also a more powerful chip than the mobile 9700onix - Tuesday, March 1, 2005 - link
How do we think graphics chip on this computer will compare to the Thinkpad T43p's ATI Mobility FIRE GL V3200 (128 MB)?bobsmith1492 - Tuesday, March 1, 2005 - link
Yeah, I play Doom 3 on medium, 1280x1024; runs pretty well. Same processor too; P-M, but with regular DDR, OCd to 2.125.trikster2 - Tuesday, March 1, 2005 - link

So, basically this performs about the same as my 9700 mobility. Yay.L3p3rM355i4h - Tuesday, March 1, 2005 - link
